He tried to drive away but his truck was too mangled to get much farther down the street. Vitkay says the gunfire wouldn't stop.

"I was saying stay down, stay down," Vitkay said. "I was driving and (it) hit him in the neck right here."

Vitkay tried talking with Fox to keep him awake, while the shooters ran away. Vitkay was in disbelief.

Looking down at Fox.

"I knew he was slipping away, I could see it in his face," Vitkay said. "He was a tough kid."

Vitkay described it as mass confusion Tuesday as Detroit police could be seen canvassing the neighborhood.

Police say they have an idea who they're looking for - the first suspect is a black male between 26 and 27 years old, 5 feet, 7 inches 150 pounds with a light complexion wearing a black sweater with a hood and gray jogging pants, with a gun.

The second suspect is only described as black with no further information provided.

Daren Vitkay talked about holding his friend and next door neighbor of 20 years, Bradley Fox, while knowing he was slipping away.

"I honestly think it was a set up," Vitkay said. "I don't know who did it. It's ridiculous, it's terrible. It's senseless. He had his whole life ahead of him."

Friends of Bradley Fox are planning to hold a vigil at Witt and Elsmere at 8 p.m. Tuesday night.
